    Explanation:dependent variable is a variable that depends on one or two factors to get its result or output. It doesn't stand on its own but rest on other factors to exist. Example plant yield is a function of rain, good soil and management practices so its a dependent variable while an Independent variable is such that stands on its own. For an independent variable is always been depend on by dependent variable.

    example is plant height it doesn't need anything to itself but some plant yield depends on the height of the plant.
